2020 Sonoma County Race Cancelled Human Race Website Open for fundraising through June 2, 2020
The Human Race is a great place to raise money for your favorite non-profit agency while having a great time! In 2014, the Race raised over$650,000 for 229 local nonprofits. Over 9,000 runners and walkers participated on race day and nearly 50,000 people donated $5, $10 or $50 dollars raising money for their favorite non-profit agency. The Volunteer Center of Sonoma County + CVNL provides marketing, publicity, materials, and experienced assistance. Nonprofits and businesses provide the people power.
At CVNL + Volunteer Center of Sonoma County, our number one priority is the health and safety of all the members of our community. As a leader in disaster preparedness and response we take emergency situations seriously. As such, we have made the difficult yet necessary decision to cancel the 2020 Sonoma County Human Race, which was scheduled for Sunday, May 2, in Santa Rosa.
The Human Race website will be open through June 2, 2020, for fundraising
In accordance with state and county recommendations for canceling events and gatherings, we looked into alternatives to a physical event and polled our participants and members about the option of holding a virtual fundraising event. After serious deliberations we will not be moving forward with a virtual fundraising event, it just isn’t the right time for that. We will, however, keep the Human Race website open through June 2, 2020, as there are still companies, teams, and individuals fundraising. For those who want to continue to use the platform to fundraise or for those who want to donate please visit: www.sonomahumanrace.org
We are sorry that we will not be able to continue the 39-year tradition of celebrating our community together. We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and community members and look forward to coming together for the 2021 Human Race.
In Sonoma, Marin, Solano, and Napa Counties, CVNL and the Volunteer Center of Sonoma County operate Emergency Volunteer Centers, working with government and nonprofit agencies to gather and assess community needs on an ongoing basis when a disaster strikes. Our role is to oversee and manage spontaneous volunteers and physical and monetary donations, distributing them to nonprofit agencies helping individuals directly affected.
